Firefox's 10 Year Anniversary
- We are kicking things off with a 33.1 release, shipping on Monday, 11/10 @ 6AM Pacific Time!
Get Involved!!
Our project sponsors are Chris Beard & Johnathan Nightingale. Eric Petitt is leading the charge in Marketing. Start by joining #decade and say "hello". We also have a daily standup in the Capella conference room -- https://air.mozilla.org/firefox-renewal-daily-stand-up/ (because we talk about confidential, partner-related things, these meetings are open to staff and volunteers who are members of the NDA group on mozillians.org). Request access for: https://fxdecade.etherpad.mozilla.org/Daily.
See a full list of contacts and what they contribute, here.
Celebrations & Community Events
Online Activities
On November 10th we will rally all Mozillians - paid staffers, volunteer community members, Facebook Fans, EVERYONE to tell the world that Firefox is the only independent choice and that you have made that choice.
On November 10th lets let as many people as possible know about Firefox on social. Its easy to get involved!
We want you to do the following:
- Put on a Firefox t-shirt, raise your Fox ears or wear blue and orange
- Pick a landmark in your city
- Rally your friends & family
- Take a photo
- Share it using #ChooseIndependent & #fx10
If you cannot take a picture that’s ok. We still want your help.
- Find a photo of an iconic landmark (make sure you own the rights to that photo)
- Crop yourself into the photo
- Share it using #ChooseIndependent & #fx10
We are driving Mozillians and the public to a participation page: [1] where they can find out how to get involved in the Fx10 campaign. It gives people a few ideas of how they can participate, how they can help light a fire!
